Chapter 266
Chapter 266
"What did you just say?! How dare you call us vulgar women?!"
"Don’t think that just because you have some strength and the title of pirate captain, Lord Rorschach will definitely choose you. There are plenty of pirate captains out there. Back in the East Blue, I was also a very famous captain!"
"That’s right! Now that the two of us sisters are teaming up, I don’t believe Lord Rorschach won’t pick us."
Faced with Peacock’s contempt, Alvida and Sweet Queen glared at her and spoke in unison. Both of them were quite confident in their own beauty.
"Hmph? So you’re saying you’re also a pirate captain? Are you trying to test your strength?"
Peacock swung her long whip, speaking with interest.
"You think I’m afraid of you?"
Alvida shot back angrily.
She already knew about Peacock’s ability, and the two of them had even fought before. However, Alvida’s Slip-Slip Fruit could easily cut through Peacock’s whip. Peacock’s own fruit had no effect on her, but Alvida couldn’t easily slip through the other objects Peacock controlled.
That was where Sweet Queen came in.
Sweet Queen was the user of the Paste-Paste Fruit. She possessed a special ability similar to a Logia, allowing her body to turn into liquid to avoid physical attacks. Unlike Katakuri’s Mochi-Mochi Fruit, however, the Paste-Paste Fruit could only turn into liquid form.
Through development, Sweet Queen had mastered a special property of her liquid — corrosion. The paste could easily melt through clothes and even objects like stone. Against human bodies, the corrosive effect was much weaker, almost as if it had been developed for a very specific purpose.
"Alright, you two, stop arguing. With your looks, Lord Rorschach will definitely be interested in you. Right now, all we need to do is wait for him to arrive. I’ve already notified Big Sis Reiju."
Hogg stepped forward helplessly to mediate. He really couldn’t understand what these women were thinking. Every time they met, they would start arguing non-stop. But since all of them were very beautiful, they were essentially "gifts" being sent to Captain Rorschach. He couldn’t afford to let anything go wrong.
Six beautiful girls, each with completely different styles... He wondered if his own position would rise after this.
He might even get to work at Punk Hazard.
Hogg thought excitedly.
These six beautiful women had all been recruited by him, so the credit naturally belonged to him.
"Look! What’s that?!"
Suddenly, one of the pirates pointed toward the floating islands in the sky and shouted.
The two arguing women immediately stopped and looked up together.
"Is it finally here? Who could it be? Don’t tell me Lord Rorschach came personally?"
Peacock withdrew her whip and crossed her arms, speaking with interest.
Sadi behind her also looked quite intrigued.
Domino seemed indifferent, while Lark looked a little timid and nervous.
A black shadow was rapidly descending from one of the islands.
Everyone watched the approaching figure with excitement, curiosity, and anticipation.
When they finally saw who it was, they all cried out in shock.
"It’s him! The legendary dragon known as ’Silver-Winged Calamity’ — Little Silver! Captain Rorschach’s partner!"
"I never thought I’d actually get to see this legendary creature in person... The Silver-Winged Calamity can fight two Admirals alone!"
"To think that such a legendary being was sent to receive us... We’re truly honored!"
The pirates erupted in cheers. They felt like Rorschach was giving them special importance.
In reality, Rorschach was simply too lazy to go down himself, so he had sent Little Silver to bring everyone up.
"So this is the legendary dragon that shone so brightly during the Summit War..."
"I wonder if it’s a human who ate a Mythical Zoan fruit and transformed, or if it’s actually a real dragon."
Peacock spoke with great interest.
She was becoming more and more curious about Rorschach.
Little did she know that curiosity toward a man was often the beginning of falling for him.
Soon, Little Silver arrived above the sea. The pirates could now clearly see its true appearance up close.
Its domineering form, hard scales, and powerful wings — it was the dream of countless men.
Ignoring the pirates’ reactions, Little Silver directly controlled the seawater beneath the ships and slowly lifted the entire fleet into the sky.
Controlling each ship individually would have been too troublesome, so it chose to manipulate the seawater itself.
"So this is the power of the Float-Float Fruit? As expected of an ability called a natural disaster. It’s on par with Whitebeard’s Tremor-Tremor Fruit."
"How exactly do Rorschach and the Silver-Winged Calamity share their abilities? It’s truly fascinating."
Domino, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
This was the biggest question in everyone’s minds — and the secret the Marines and World Government most wanted to uncover.
"We’ll find out soon enough."
Peacock’s beautiful eyes stayed fixed on Little Silver leading the way as she smiled lightly.
It didn’t take long. The ships soon arrived at Dragon Roar Island.
The people in charge came forward to greet the women who wanted to join, while the rest of the pirates were told to stay on the ships.
Standing on the island to receive them was Reiju.
She was in charge of everything here while Rorschach was away, and he was more than happy to leave it to her.
"You can all leave now. I’ve received your message. I’ll inform Captain Rorschach."
Reiju spoke in a calm, emotionless tone.
The people in charge bowed and left, taking all the pirate crews with them.
The pirates were still confused. They hadn’t even met Rorschach, yet some woman had shown up, said a few words, and now they were being taken away. Only the women were being kept behind.
Wasn’t Rorschach supposed to value them? He even sent the legendary dragon to receive them. So why were they being left behind while only the women stayed? Where were they being taken?
Doubt began to appear in their eyes.
They were starting to question whether joining Rorschach had been the right choice after all.
But no one here cared what they thought.
"Sigh... Come with me."
After the pirates left, Reiju shook her head and sighed, then spoke to the hundred-plus beautiful women.
All of these women were undoubtedly very beautiful. In the pirate world, women tended to be extreme — either extremely ugly or quite attractive. And the ones left here were the ones the recruiters had carefully selected.
"Let me introduce myself first."
"I’m Reiju, the person in charge here. When Captain Rorschach isn’t around, I handle everything. If you have any questions, you can ask me."
"Also, I’ll inform Captain Rorschach so he can come meet you all. Whether he chooses you or not will depend on your own charm. Now, follow me."
These recruiters had really given Reiju a headache. She had no idea how to deal with so many women. She had expected just a few, but now there were over a hundred. Were they trying to drain Rorschach dry?
Well... with his physique, it might not be him who gets drained.
Either way, the first priority was to settle them in.
"Wait, Sister Reiju..."
From within the crowd, a lively girl with short yellow hair stepped forward and called out to Reiju.
Reiju turned around with a questioning look.
